Has anyone had the tenacity to see if Plan 9 can be made to work on a AT&T 35xx
series machine? We were thinking about testing it on one that is being
under-utilised at the moment, but weren't sure if it would recognise any of the
storage devices (micro channel stuff instead of IDE or SCSI, I think).
Any wisdom appreciated...I don't subscribe to the list yet, so please mail
directly.

We've only tried it on some of the desktop Globalyst models, with mixed results
(Pentium and DX2 systems seemed to work OK, DX4's were flakey - when we looked inside
at the butchered motherboards we had some idea why...).
We haven't looked at the higher-end machines at all, there's definitely no Microchannel
support. Some of the multiprocessor servers look like they would make OK fileservers
but I suspect the multiprocessor hardware is not Intel MultiProcessor Specification 1.1
compliant (I have a Brazil port for the MP Spec. dual-Pentium motherboards which are
fairly common in comparison to NCR systems).
